Eurus Energy Group Supply Chain Sustainability Behavioral Guidelines

Eurus Energy Group articulates our commitment to "Helping to Preserve the Global Environment by Disseminating and Expanding Clean Energy Technologies" in our corporate philosophy. We are dedicated to addressing social issues through our business activities. To this end, we are committed to achieve our stated corporate vision to "Develop with local communities and maintain the trust of society".

We always consider community and people above all else and will develop our businesses through open communications with and active involvement of the local community. We understand the close relationship between the global environment and our business activities, and we respect international norms while actively working to secure the safety of local environments and to conserve resources. Furthermore, as we expand our business globally, we respect the culture of each country and aim to coexist with local communities overseas, fully recognizing our role as a corporate member of society.

We position the Toyota Tsusho Group Human Rights Policy as our highest-level policy regarding human rights, and this policy embodies our commitment to respecting human rights as we engage in renewable energy business.
As expectations are increasing regarding the prevention and remediation of human rights and labor issues within the supply chain, we have established the "Supply Chain Sustainability Behavioral Guidelines" to more clearly communicate our stance to society.

We kindly ask our suppliers to put the guidelines into practice within their own organizations and to encourage their own suppliers to adopt and act upon the same principles.
